A young girl yearns for her home

Abeer al-Najjar, the child of a refugee, analyzes a story by Susan Dominus about a 12-year-old Syrian refugee girl named Hana, whose days of manual farm labor are mingled with dreams of home: "This narrative speaks to the universal merit of journalistic works which help us not just be conscious of but cherish other humans. We dive with Dominus into Hana’s physical experience — 'the almonds were stubborn, resisting her fingers' — and into her soul and consciousness."
